Hubby and I spent the week-end away. And while shopping at Home Goods I came upon this adorable teapot lamp! It called my name and low and behold it hopped right into my cart. Funny how those things happen. Well I love blue and white! I love teapots and we needed a new little lamp for this table.

But wait there was more! I found the pretty blue and white vase at TJ Maxx, and it was only $5!
The cute lamb came from the dollar tree and the blue and white egg was a GW find.

Over here I have added the pretty little white pitcher that I won as part of a give-away and the candle stick had been brass and I spray painted it cottage white.

Behind my birdie nest, which I've had forever is a little watercolor painting that I found at a garage sale last summer for a mere $2.

A view with the drapes. The sun is just starting to rise.

Hubby made this table for me many years ago. The top is cherry and the rest is made out of pine.

I love these pieces with my drapes. They are pretty much a perfect fit!

The picture above is of a cotswold cottage that we framed several years ago.

It's a beautiful morning. The sun has come out, things are just starting to bud around here.

And my Mom says she has some tulips and daffodils starting to poke through the ground. And I have my new teapot lamp!

Hello Cindy, what a darling teapot lamp. You know lamps and teapots are my weakness, had I seen it I would have brought it home too. lol. Your vignette is darling and so full of spring. I adore your blue birds in the nest.. the perfect touch. Love your drapes as well... hugs my friend.. ~lynne~

Cindy, love your vignette. It is gorgeous. Your new lamp is just so pretty and the vase and the egg are beautiful. It all looks so pretty on your table. Great job. Thanks for linking up to the party too. I will have Mr. Linky up this evening. Hope you are having a super day. Hugs, Marty

Hi Cindy! :)Nothing is crisper or cleaner or fresher looking than blue and white! Everything is beauiful and you certainly got some goodies for fantastic prices..but...the picture of the cottage stole my heart. HOW I love those. I must be on the lookout for some but they are really rare...Hugs to you Sweetie, and thank you for your nice comment. Monap.s. Tell you Mom hello for me ..ok? I hope she is doing well...

Hope you have a GREAT day my dear friend...hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

I was good!! I really was! :-D I pulled over in the parking lots for all of the pics except for the one on the road. I saw how blue the sky was and the camera was on the seat. I picked it up aimed it at the windshield and clicked. Had no clue what it would look like. :-D

Hi Cindy!!!!I love that blue teapot lamp!!!! That is a great find!!! OH I love that blue display and love the blue drapes with those blue things!!!! I love that blue pic sitting on the table, what a deal and goes so well with the bird nest!!!!!How is spring coming along there???Love that the flowers are poking out!!! Easter is 2 weeks away!!!!!have a great weekwe will miss you at our luncheon!!!!hugs,jamie

Blue and white are always a favorite with me, Cindy. So of course I am going to be a little green with envy about that cute little lamp! tee hee Your table top looks so fresh and cozy- love the egg and sweet little lamb. hugs, Sue

Hi. I have almost the same little lamp....just the spout is different. I have had it for several years. My Mother noticed how much I liked it while we were in a furniture and bought it for me. I love, love the curtains.

Oh Cindy, you know how much I love this! First of all, I love those draperies. But that little teapot lamp is soooo wonderful! All of your other blue and white finds just make this vignette perfection! I also love both of your pictures (wow! $2.00!). I've been wantig a Cotswald cottage picture, so I'm coveting yours. Loved this post! laurie

I love this; it is all so pretty. I had to laugh at the teapot lamp. I have a teapot lamp also and my Granddaughter really thought it just was not right to have a teapot and lamp combo (she is 3). Love those birds and pictures, and curtains and everything --table.....

I love your lamp! Your things do look perfect with the curtains. I'm behind since real life jumped in and turned my world upside down a bit. I'm trying to catch up when I can. I'm glad I got to see your darling pin cushions. If it required a needle and thread it is probably more than I can handle:)

Oh-at this moment I'm in Alabama on my way to Florida tomorrow. It was 39 degrees and raining as we drove into the state. Maybe we don't have it so bad in the Midwest!

There's a special place in my heart for blue and white, and you've really displayed it beautifully. I've seen that little lamb in the Dollar Tree and thought it was so sweet. It looks great in your vignette!

dear cindy,so serene and crisp and beautifuli love the sweet tea pot...i wish it was red but gloria would love it blue and white. i love the bluebirds in the nest. everything is just perfect.blessingshugssimply debbie

Oh Cindy the blue and white with the touches of yellow are gorgeous. Everything looks so spring like! LOVE the teapot lamp. Everything blends so well from the drapes to the little painting behind the nest! Great job girl!!!! Hugs, Loretta

Welcome to Applestone Cottage. My husband Dan and I bought this cottage in the hills of Western Wisconsin 2 years ago. My husband Dan is a building construction and woodworking teacher at our local high school. He loves to build and I love to decorate on a shoe-string budget. With an empty nest looming, we wanted to take our life in a new direction. We found our little stone cottage on 2 acres surrounded by apple trees. Hence, Applestone Cottage began. Please join us as we turn on little cottage in the country into an inviting little home. Cindy
